When falls result in a resident injury, assisted living facilities run the risk of being downgraded in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) 5-star rating system; are exposed to liability claims; and sometimes even subjected to increased insurance premiums. Water on the floor from undetected leaks and overflowing sinks and toilets can also result in an increase in employee injuries. Undetected leaks can also lead to mold and air quality issues, requiring expensive remediation.

Concern

Undetected Plumbing Leaks & Overflows Lead to…

Resident Well-Being

Roughly 20-30% of falls result in moderate to severe injuries[1]; undetected leaks can lead to mold and air quality issues

Water from an undetected leak can quickly spread and cause substantial property damage; slip and falls can lead to liability claims and increased insurance premiums

Maintain Suitable Staff-to-Resident Ratios

Falls by employees can lead to workers’ compensation claims and unplanned time off

Water on the floor is especially challenging in nursing homes and elder care facilities where residents may cause overflows by forgetting to turn off a water source or inadvertently plugging a drain. Smart deployment of water sensors, alarms, notification systems and automatic shut-off valves can help alert you to potentially hazardous conditions and catastrophic plumbing leaks before it’s too late. Reliance Detection can help you outfit your buildings with the correct equipment to effectively manage water leaks, control costs, and better ensure the well-being of your residents.
